Lisa Vanderpump Discuss the impact of “Scandoval” was an episode of Steve-Ohis podcast.
As Vanderpump Rules the cast continues to deal with the fallout from Tom Sandoval cheating on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their friends and castmates Rachel LewisLisa reacted to the increase in ratings as she also appeared again in the new recording of the season 10 reunion.
“[Is it] Isn’t that the greatest thing that could happen?” Steve-O asked the relationship on the April 6 episode of Wild Ride!via Us Weekly.
“Well, obviously, you’re looking for good ratings, and they’ve paid off,” Lisa replied. “But after 11 years with these guys … I’m very emotionally invested in them. So, I think I’ve been on a lot of journeys with them. Sure, it’s great television, but at a great price.
Although some have accused Sandoval of more cheating, Lisa says her romance with Raquel was “unexpected.”
“We weren’t filming at that time. We weren’t ready for this,” he said. “We recently took a reunion, and it was very, very emotional. And I love them all, all their follies and foibles. I love them so much.”
As for what happened between Sandoval and Ariana at the reunion, Lisa said Ariana slammed her ex as a “piece of sh-t” after Steve-O praised Sandoval as “beautiful.”
“I think Ariana doesn’t agree with you right now,” Lisa said. “I think they called him a ‘piece of st’ at the reunion.”
“That being said, it’s one good-looking piece of sh-t,” Steve-O replied.
When Lisa said she believed the whole cast of Pump Rules it’s “beautiful,” he applauded them even more for giving everything in the middle of filming.
“They don’t sit in the corner,” she explained. “I’m not saying they’re trained, because they’re not trained. The kind of people who are good for reality television are people who really express themselves honestly. And when you do it for 10 hours, and they’re all sitting there, it’s really honest.
Also, on Steve-O’s podcast, Lisa said that players have been known to take advantage of their good looks by acting “dirty” and “naughty”.
He then said Pump Rules has “chosen” in the week since Sandoval and Raquel’s relationship was discovered.
“Because it happened in Vanderpump Rules it kind of kicked off, it has like hundreds of millions of views literally in the past few weeks,” she said, per Heavy. “It’s a nightmare, but you know what, we’re getting through it. Reality television is always unpredictable, and as a producer of the show, I’ve seen the ebb and flow, and now it’s ebb and flow.
Vanderpump Rules Season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
